My 00 Civic EX (56k go make a sandwich)

[Coutts]

Okay, this time im going to do it correctly :-P. Alrighty, i drive a 2000 Honda Civic EX: stick shift, silver, with dark grey interior, pretty clean and stock. I have big plans for it but i will probably never get the money but whatever its still cool to dream right?

Okay, heres what the previous owner did to it:
- DOHC VTEC stickers (lol)
- Exhaust tip (put in wrong obviously)
- De-badged (i think?)

So i am going to try to actually make this car not a joke. I am getting a job within the next like week or so, so then im going to save up to buy some lowering springs, still trying to figure out how much, how much do you guys suggest i drop? After that im going to save up for some tires / rims to replace whats on there now. After that im not sure yet. As you can see the exhaust tip is put in like crooked and its actually burned a hole in the bottom of the bumper from trouching it

Here are a lot of pictures of it

That should be enough angles for you guys lol. So tell me what i should do to the car / in what order, i really want to see this car looking cool

ahhhh i rember when my car looked like that. now it looks like this.

enjoy your coupe man!

 

[Coutts]

how much did you lower that?

 

[Genuine Rolla]

not bad bro...!

 

[slamDunk]

im not sure about the inchs but on the coil overs its all the way down. tokico struts and sunk coilovers and camber kit thats a must for every lowered car..

clean start man...cars are fun to work with, but also damn expensive.

i dono like this car just has tons of here and there problems, such as thers something messed up with the transmission where if i shift into 2nd going 45mph+, it grinds for a second, and im positive its not my clutching, i think its something to do with the syncros or something, and today it just felt like it hesitated when i gased it, like right around 3k it would kinda hesitate, just like you notice "it didnt pull like it usually does" kinda, iono but it didnt seem normal. what could be the problem?

^^^^Isn't shifting into second going 45 not a good thing to do anyway? Seems like you would be revving it a bit high. How many miles on the engine?

 

[Coutts]

well no i was just testing it because it sometimes grinds 1st to 2nd when i am doing "racing" style shifting, but when i do the shift into 2nd thing at 45 i never let off teh clutch, i only test it. The engine has 113,000 miles on it.

i remember days when my car was like that... good platform to start with
